Depends on what you are shooting. Targets, varmints, or big game. for deer, I use a 3x9 variable. An expreme high power scope may limit the field of view to a degree that I can't FIND the deer in the scope. Long range target, a 12 power scope. Varmints (woodchuck) I use a 6x24 power. More powerful scopes tend to have a smaller field of view, and be less bright.

What is the effective range of an air rifle?
Air rifles ranges vary depending on they're caliber, power, power plant and the pellet being used. It also depends on your application, The hunting range of an airgun is usually less than the target range. For a .177 caliber air rifle shooting at 1000 fps your maximum hunting range is probably about 40 yards. Your target range is probably about 100 yards max, since you don't need the power to take down the game at that range. For a .22 caliber air rifle shooting about 800- 1000 (with a 14.3 grain pellet) Your hunting range is more based on your gun's accuracy, than it is power. I would say the max is about 75 yards. Target could be about 130 yards or more. For a big bore, your range is usually about 100 yards or more depending on the game.
Best scope for 30-30 rifle?
If you spend most all of your hunting time in thick woods & brushy areas - I would consider a fixed power scope ( 4x should be good ). I personally use a variable power scope ( 3x9 ). This way I can cover both woods & more open areas. Since you will not be shooting over about 100 yards, something with a wide field and not too much magnification is best.

What scope is best for a maximum range of 120 feet?
Depends on the use of the scope - target, hunting, etc. Will also depend on the caliber, and whether firearm or air rifle or handgun. 120 feet (40 yards) is not a great distance (I predator hunt at 500-600 yards) so a very high magnification scope is not needed- 2.5- 4x should be adequate unless you are shooting TINY targets.

What to look for in a rifle scope?
It's all about the optics. When you are looking for a scope you need to look at what you are using it for. The magnification and objective lens size will be the main things to look at. For example you would not want a standard 4 X scope if you plan on hunting varmints or shooting 700 yards at a target. You would want to go with a higher power and a larger objective lens. There are many things to understand when looking for a scope and this is just one thing.
